Welcome to WWW Wednesday! This meme was formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm and revived here on Taking on a World of Words. Just answer the three questions below and leave a link to your post in the comments for others to look at. No blog? No problem! Just leave a comment with your responses. Please, take some time to visit the other participants and see what others are reading. So, let’s get to it!

The Three Ws are:

What are you currently reading? What did you recently finish reading? What do you think you’ll read next?

Currently reading: I thought about reading In the Garden of Beasts by Erik Larson. I had a lot of working lunches last week and didn’t really have the time to pull it out. I might have accidentally gotten an eReader so that might speed things up…
I’m still really enjoying The Ice Cream Queen of Orchard Street by Susan Jane Gilman. The audiobook is superb and I’m starting to see the connections between the current lawsuit she’s facing and the progressing memoir toward that point in time. I’m really looking forward to finding out how they converge.
I started In the Hand of Dante by Nick Tosches and I’m a bit iffy on it. It started off really far from the plot promised and it’s very… blatant? The main characters so far are gruff men who are honest about what they’re doing and feeling and it’s not always comfortable to read.

Recentlyfinished: I finished 27 Days to Midnight by Kristine Kruppa! I wish I’d been able to finish it a bit faster, but that’s life. Whatever, haha. School is almost over and I’ll be able to get through these faster. This was a really enjoyable book and I’m really blessed to have been part of the process and watch Kristine grow this book into the great work that it is.

I posted my review on Monday so please go check that out as well!

Reading Next: I’ll have to get back to book club books soon. Our next selection is The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd. I’m excited to say that this will hit the 1800s time period in my When Are You Reading? Challenge so this is a well-timed read for me. I’m not always a fan of such popular book-club-books so we’ll see how this one goes.

27 Days to Midnight seems like such an interesting read! I have The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, which I’ve yet to read. I’m so intimidated by it, even though it’s so small lol. I hope you end up liking The Invention of Wings!

Thank you! I think I tried reading ‘The Secret Life of Bees’ years ago and couldn’t get through it so I’m a bit nervous but that must have been over 10 years ago so I’m sure my tastes have changed some. Happy Wednesday!

The Inventions of Wings is one of my favorite books this year. It is such a powerful and beautiful story. I look forward to reading your review on it. The time period, strong female protagonist. It had everything that I like. I hope that you will love it as much as I did.

The Invention of Wings is on my list. Your other books are new to me, but I hope you are enjoying them. My reading this week has been slow due to other distractions, but I’m loving my choice. Here’s my WWW WEDNESDAY POST

There are days when I wonder if I should accidentally get an ereader as well 😉 But I’m fighting the urge. If I can get my hands on a print copy, that’s what I’ll always go for 🙂
Sorry that In the Hand of Dante is proving to be less than what you hoped for.
I loved Secret Life of Bees and I’ve been meaning to pick up Invention of Wings! Hope you enjoy it once you get to it ❤

Thanks as ever for hosting and Happy Reading 🙂

I have been wanting to read The Invention Of Wings for a long time as well; a shame I already have the 1800s filled if not it would have been a great excuse to finally read it. (I need the 1500s and 1700s first 😉 )

I have The Time Machine and the Shades Of Magic books for the 1800s, but I still need the 1700s and 1500s as well… That and the 1900-1919 period, but I already have a title for the last one. I should try and find a title for the other two next month though. Maybe another Shakespeare for the 1500s? Happy Wednesday!
